April 2008 SoCal steamup at Jim Gabelich's residence in Palos Verdes Estates, California. Jim has a partially elevated oval with a single 32 mm track and dual 45 mm tracks including a cross-over and steaming bays. There is also a third 45mm track that loops below the oval and around the back of Jim’s steaming area, crossing over itself with grades, a bridge and a tunnel. The models shown here are all working live steam locomotives and many were in motion when the photo was taken. Photos by Rick Parker |
